The 2013 Cinema Touch Awards - ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

For
lathering us in an ooze of poeticism. Not all would agree with me here, but his
words exhale out of the actors' mouths like smoke from a cigarette.

3.
Inside Llewyn Davis – Joel Coen, Ethan
Coen

For
a screenplay that disperses to nothing outside itself yet everything is
immediately recognizable.

2.
The Unspeakable Act – Dan Sallitt

For
so wonderfully assured a piece, with characterizations as stealthy as any of
Rohmer's.

1.
Before Midnight – Richard Linklater,
Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke

For
making it all look so easy. Watching the changes and meditations of these
characters, not only in this film, but across all three films, has been one of
this cinephile's most captivating endeavors.
